+SUMMARY = "GNU binary utilities"
+DESCRIPTION = "The GNU Binutils are a collection of binary tools. \
+The main ones are ld (GNU Linker), and as (GNU Assembler). This \
+package also includes addition tools such as addr2line (Converts \
+addresses into filenames and line numbers), ar (utility for creating, \
+modifying and extracting archives), nm (list symbols in object \
+files), objcopy (copy and translate object files), objdump (Display \
+object information), and other tools and related libraries."
